Chrono Trigger 2 still not happening at Square Enix due to politics

There are no known plans for Chrono Trigger 2 despite various claims from creators of the original. Although fans of 1995's Chrono Trigger did get an indirect sequel in 2000's Chrono Cross, it didn't wrap up certain unfinished plot threads of the original game since it had a new cast. VGB lays out how this Square drama has played out over the years.

i hate games with time travel i think it shows no creativity and lack of talent storywise. The exception to the rule for me was chrono cross i thought it was great and i played it 2 years ago when the ps1 game didn't have the graphics to impress me and i thought it was a great game. BTW my fav. rpg is FFVII dont start a fight over it tho.

actually, Chrono Cross received overwhelmingly positive reviews, even getting a perfect score from gamespot (one of only a handful of games to have gotten a perfect by them). i played about 90% of the game, and thoroughly enjoyed its quaint and calm atmosphere. as a matter of fact, its probably my third most favorite Playstation-era jrpg next to FFVII and Dragon Quest VIII.

that said, it always amazed me that Square decided to continue with the Star Ocean series, but not the Chrono series. mind you, there's nothing wrong with SO, but i always thought the Chrono series proved to be the bigger cash draw, and the better received by critics and fans alike.

I like time travel games, movies, stories, theories. But I not going to argue with you about, your opinion. I agree final fantasy is a good game, but I personally prefer part 6 over 7. But part 7 has a tremendous story that over shadows part 6's story.

Crono Trigger was an amazing RPG. I really need for them to make it on the PSN so I can play it each night. In fact, go ahead and throw suidoken on there while you are at it. On topic, surely they would have made a sequel by now if they were going to.

I've always believed there has to be some big egos involved here to PREVENT this sequel from happening. I mean outside of the pressure involved with making a sequel to one of the most highly regarded RPG's in videogame history, there are almost no negatives (especially from a business perspective) to making Chrono Trigger 2.

Considering the long wait and the legacy of the original, done properly Chrono Trigger 2 could be a behemoth of a money maker for SE.

Like I said.. big egos are PREVENTING this from happening because it doesn't take much to see this is a winner. Assemble the original team and with all that talent and the respect they have for the series.. they'd be hard pressed to not make a great game and worth successor to a truly legendary RPG.

Chrono Trigger is one of my favourite rpgs of all time. I recently got the PSP homebrew version off a friend and play it when I'm going to work on the bus/subway. I really want an updated sequel or even a remake if possible.
